I thought the DD ending was pretty clear...except for the falling statue joke which ruined the dramtic effect! I actually felt it was little cliched, not in a really bad way, but if you have played enough games and read enough books you've seen that story many times before.
Yes I have sort of played Arcanum. I was really close to finishing it. I was at the mage citadel in the vendringoth wastes but I was just sick of it so I couldn't bring my self to carry on, plus I needed the HD space. It was such a chore to mess around with the teleport pads. Arcanum is a good example of a nice idea that was stretched too long. I wanted it to end so I could start again as a new style of character but it just kept on going and going and going!
